AI analysis

TickerTalks’ read on the fundamentals and what’s driving the move.

Too early to tellSelling offAI verdict · as of 2026-07-21

Falling on heavy selling — points lower unless it turns around.

Tecogen -51% TTM at 15% of range — the data-center-cooling-adjacent CHP micro-cap with widening losses into Aug 11.

Tecogen is a micro-cap combined-heat-and-power (CHP) systems designer — industrial and commercial CHP with potential data-center-cooling adjacencies. The stock is -32% YTD (-51% TTM) at 15% of range into Aug 11.

  • Business contracting: Q1 revenue $6.3M down 13% YoY at 41% gross margin and -34% op margin — real revenue decline with widening operating losses; the fundamental trajectory has deteriorated.
  • Multiple broken: -11x TTM P/E and 4.1x P/S — priced on the data-center-cooling thesis rather than fundamentals; -33% ROIC reflects the operating-loss cycle.
  • Consensus 2027 revenue $62M vs 2026 $28M reflects sell-side expectation for meaningful re-acceleration — but Q1 was down 13% YoY, so aspirational.
  • Data-center cooling boom framing is speculative but plausible: TGEN grouped with air-conditioning/heating for the data-center thesis provides thematic tailwind if signals materialize.
  • 174K RSU plus 26K options ($5.17 exercise) granted to CEO signals management retention amid the tape breakdown — long-term incentive alignment.

Aug 11 print with revenue growth turning positive plus data-center-cooling customer-pipeline commentary pulls TGEN toward $5+. A soft revenue print or continued operating-margin deterioration extends the breakdown — -51% TTM plus 15% of range plus widening losses means data-center-cooling thesis requires specific customer-conversion progression.

What to watch: Aug 11 Q2 earnings — revenue growth turning positive plus data-center-cooling customer-pipeline commentary pulls TGEN toward $5+; a soft revenue print or continued operating-margin deterioration extends the breakdown — -51% TTM plus 15% of range plus widening losses requires specific customer-conversion progression.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
-10.7How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
-32.7%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
-33.2%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
-11.5%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
4.1Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
-51.2%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
35.2%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.1Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
